Turner was not so effective against the
Portlands yesterday as he has been in games
past in this city, and although the champi-
ons did not get large number of hits, they
earned three runs and got several good hits
in at times when they were most needed. He
was quite wild. and in the third inning, when
the four runs were made, gave three men
their bases on balls, two Of the times with
men ON first. Small pitched for the Port
lands and did good work, although he was
hit quite hard in the first part of the game.
The visitors earned three runs in the first
two innings aud one in the fourth, but after
that but two hits were made by them. The
first part Of the game was very interesting,
as the batting seemed to be about even, but
towards the last Of it the visitors put in
some bad work in the way of fumbles and
wild throwing.
The Portlands started off bad. The Sa-
lens went to The bat first, and Campana, the
first man, lit high fly straight up in the
air. Small, Schoeneck and Duffey all start
ed for 1t, but In the confusion it dropped be-
tween them, and had to be scored as a hit.
The ball bounded to one side and Campana
took second, Duffey throwing a little wild.
On Rays put-out he took third, and scored
on Donovan's hit. In the Portlands' half Of
the inning, Andrus hit to left field for two
bags, and went to third ON Dickerson's short
hit. Dickerson was safe at first on an at
tempt to put Andrus out at third, and stole
second. Hatfield went out on fly to Henry
and then Duffey brought Andrus and Dick
erson home on a hit to left field. For the
Salems, IN the second, Henry hit safe and
stole second, and Farrell brought him in
with hit. the latter taking second on the
attempt to put Henry out at the home plate
Turner then hit a ball which struck the top
Of the left field fence, and bounded back in
to the field-a narrow escape from home

REPUBLICAN CLUBS.
Promise of a Big Convention to Dis
cuss Next Years Convention.

New YORK, August 29.-The suggestions
for National convention of the Republican
clubs have crystallized into definite plans.
1t has been decided that such gathering
shall be had shortly after the fall elections
for the purpose of discussing the plans and
platform for next years campaign. All but
three clubs favored New York as the place
for holding the convention, and 1t therefore
will be held here, probably in the Academy
of Music.
In talk with Mr.. Henry Gleason, secre-
tary Of the special committee on the subject,
appointed by the New York Republican
Club, the fact was developed that already
there are assurances Of an attendance Of
from SCC to 1000 delegates, representing oyer
200 clubs. Among the delegates viii be
prominent judges, lawyers and business
men, number of whom have been chosen
In the last few days. The Republican League
OF Ohio, which has taken particu-
just selected four delegates and four alter
mates.
Il am fairly surprised at the unanimity of
sentiment and enthusiasm Of the move
ment," said Mr.. Gleason. "The realization
of the advantages to be derived from club
these clubs Republicans become better ac-
quainted with each other; complete poll
lists can be made out; men can be sought
and brought out to. the primaries who have
never attended such gatherings; q greater
number OF young men can be interested In
politics. and better men can be put in Office" I"
So important has become this club move
ment that 1t is now suggested as an aid to
the work of organization that the Republi
can committee Of New York be communi-
Gated with on the subject Of adding plank
to the platform TO be adopted by this falls
convention, calling for an even more general
club organization, and stating the advan-
tages to be derived therefrom

swINToN AGAINST GEORGE.
New York Socialists Making for the
Coming Campaign

NEW YORK, Aug. 29,-It can be positively
said that the Socialists of New York will
nominate State ticket at their conference,
to be held here Sunday next, and that John
Swinton will be nominated in opposition to
Henry George for secretary of state. II
Swinton accepts the nomination, and it is
claimed that he has already expressed his
willingness to do so, it will be the liveliest
campaign that New York has seen for years.
Swinton has many grievances to lay to the
door of George, and those who are in his
confidence are of the opinion that nothing
would please him better than to seek salts
faction for his wrongs. 1t was Georges
Standard that caused the suspension of John
Swinton's paper. One of the Socialists said
last night:
"It has not been definitely settled vet
whether we shall make our fight through
John Swinton against Henry George alone
or select candidates for the remaining places
on the State ticket. We have no personal
feeling against the other nominees on the
United Labor ticket i hold that we would
stand a better show by fighting George in
dividually, but many of my associates are
of a contrary opinion"
Before the opening of the meeting of the
American Socialists at 16 Clinton place last
night there was lively discussion over the
coming nomination of Swinton for secretary
of state.
Many women are members Of the club.
among them Mrs; Cynthia Leonard mother
of Lillian Russell, the actress.
The Socialists agreed that the nomination
of Swinton would be great stroke Of policy
on their part.

THE DUKE OF MARLsoRoucH.
A British Peers Opinions on Recent
English Political Events.

NEW YORK, Aug 29.-The Duke of Marl-
borough. who arrived here onthe Umbria, is
a man of few years less than fifty, bald on
the top of his head, and with Marlborough
or intensely Roman nose. He wears little
moustache and rather serious expression,
s ssa s % %i S hen a6 be talks sx hs says
is so thoroughly a holiday that he is alb
solutely without any plans. To-day he goes
to Newport, and he will visit a number of
watering places Before returning he will
make little stay in New York. He was
here fourteen years ago.
As the brother of Randolph Churchill, he
would not commit himself to any opinion as
to that gentleman's immediate Political
future. He described him as at present oc
cupying the position of a pure patriot,
though perhaps in time he might again take
office. The Duke says that the government
there Is no certainty as to the result. The
political history OF England for a period will
be chapter of accidents. The electorate is
dark horse, the power lately put in the
hands Of the masses is an unknown quanti-
ty. Since the masses obtained the power
they have boxed the compass. and no one
knows which way they will 60 next. II
Gladstone were a younger man he could
take the country with him, in all probability.
But at his age it is doubtful. 1t has long
been believed that when one of the great
parties should take up home rule as politi-
cal measure it was only matter of time
when home rule would be accomplished in
some form. The Conservatives of to-day
are more radical than the Liberals in the
days of Beaconsfeld. Even three years ago
the idea that a Tory Minister would pass
such measure as the land act would have
been ridiculed. OF the other side of the
question he said that coercion is not popular.
1t may be tolerated, but it does not bring
votes or strengthen the party.
When asked about Mr.. Blaine's visit the
Duke said he did not know much about it.
Mr Blaine had not moved much except in
what were known as literary sets. He had
not been lionized, but the Duke did not
know but what that was by his own wish
He then turned questioner and asked, "Mr.
Blaine is rather antagonistic to English in
stitutions, is he not?"
He said that there was one question that
he would like to study here, and that was
the silver question. He regarded the COM
mercial depression of the last ten years as
the result of currency troubles, and thought
that the policy of the United States on the
silver question was one OF the most i'm
portant factors in its settlement.
The currency question is the problem Of
the hour with you, too, l think" he said.
You have some elements of continental
socialism, but nothing can come of it yet.
You are making too much money. You have
| too great undeyeloped resources. The great
| question of a struggle between capital and
labor is for another generation"

Rescue OF the Bark HighfIyer from
the Fury OF Both.
Especial to the Press.l


HALIFAX, N. s., August 29.-The steamer
Richmond Fill. Captain Hyde, with cargo
OF cattle, ETC., from New York for London,
arrived here at o'clock this morning and
Captain Hyde tells the following remarkable
story: The Richmondi Hill, which left New
York for London on the 18th inst, came In
port In the tail Of frightful hurricane
which ragged in the Atlantic on the 25th and
18th inst. On Saturday afternoon. the 27th
inst, when in latitude 41.12 n, longitude
$3.50 W., she fell in with the baroue High
flyer, of Ersfeth laden with oil and bound
for Dantzig, on the Baltic, with foretopmast
and jibboom gone. We passed her but it
was evident from the attitude of the crew
that something was up. After steaming for
about five miles she hoisted distress sig
nal The Richmond Hill was then turned
around and as soon as she came up again
the question was asked, what assistance
do you require?" The answer was, "Come
back; we must abandon the vessel"
A boat was now put off from the Rich
mond, with the first and third officers. The
captain of the Highfiyer stated that he had
had bad weather ever since leaving New
York on the 18th inst; that the crew had
refused duty and that there was three feet
of water in the hold; that she was making
six inches of water an hour, and conse-
quently that he had no alternative but to
abandon the vessel. The crew were then
taken off, the captain and second officer re-
naming on board. just as the men of the
Richmond Hill were getting off, blaze was
seen and the Highfyer was on FIRE. Mr..
Mitchell and Mr. Herty, the first and third
officers Of the Richmond Hill Immediately
rushed on deck and in the most praise
worthy and plucky manner. managed to get
the flames under control.
Captain Hyde now decided to take the
Highfyer in tow and a boat with the first
and third officers was again manned. There
was heavy sea at the time which made it
difficult to pass. However eventually this
was successfully done. Just as they were
getting alongside again flames were seen
starting from three different parts of the
ship and all was then given up as lost, but
the boats crew of the Richmond rushed on
ton, succeeded in quenching the flames.
The captain and officers of the Highflyer
now came off ontheir own record. A heavy
hawser was then made fast and the Rich
mond Hill altered her course to Halifax.
Before she had proceeded far their hawser
parted. 1t was now Sunday morning, and
nothing daunted, another attempt was
made and the rope was spliced. and with
this they went slowly ahead until morning,
when, at a. m, a wire hawser was got out;
but this also broke. A third attempt was
made with the intention, if this failed, to
abandon the attempt of bringing her to Hal
flax, as the high sea that was running at
the time made it very difficult to do so. This
happily succeeded and they safely reached
port tonight.
